#155 HGUC #155 RX-79[G] Ez-8 Gundam Ez8

The Gundam Ez8 is the protagonist Mobile Suit from the famous Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team animated series. The Gundam Ez8 is the modified version of Shiro Amada’s RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type which he almost destroyed battling the Apsalus II Mobile Armor. The Gundam Ez8 went 15 years without a 1/144 scale release before Bandai gave us this fantastic HGUC Gundam Ez8 model kit! Here’s a little fun fact: There are only two other UC Mobile Suits referred to as “Gundam,” which do not feature a dual-blade antenna!

The accessories for the HGUC Gundam Ez8 include:

• 100mm Machine Gun
• Beam Rifle
• Shield
• Parachute Pack
• Beam Saber x2

Articulation –

The Gundam Ez8 has a plethora of well-thought-out articulation points, making it a stellar poser! All four limbs are double-jointed, and two ball joints connect the waist to the midsection of the Gundam. Plenty of thought went into bringing the Gundam Ez8 up to modern HGUC standards, even down to the toes! The prongs on the backpack unfold to support additional equipment packs just like the Gundam Ground Type!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

There are many similarities between the Gundam Ez8’s loadout and the Gundam Ground Type’s. The Gundam Ez8 uses the same 100mm Machine Gun and Beam Rifle as the Ground Type, and the backpack equipment is another borrowed component from the Gundam Ground Type. This model kit includes the parts to build the Parachute Pack Equipment, which attaches to the extended prongs on the backpack. This equipment is compatible with other HGUC 08th MS team model kits, and the Weapon Container from the Ground Gundam should be a direct fit.

This kit includes:

9 Runners total (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, SB6, PC001A)
Total Piece Count – 165 with 6 Unused Parts
Foil + Marking Stickers
